Description
WikiProject Virtual reality and augmented reality would be a child project of WikiProject Video games, WikiProject Software, and Wikipedia:WikiProject Computing. The main purpose of this WikiProject would be to improve and create articles related to virtual reality and augmented reality. For the past couple of years, the virtual reality industry has grown and with it is the amount of Wikipedia articles related to virtual reality. This Wikiproject will both maintain and create articles related to virtual reality. Pizzaplayer219TalkContribs 18:47, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

- Why do you want to start a new group, instead of joining one of these existing groups?
- Well, WikiProject Software and Wikipedia:WikiProject Computing as well as the other computer related WikiProjects are pretty much dead. And WikiProject Video games is more focused on other stuff.

- I support the creation but wouldn't join; I'd still make a barnstar and userbox though. Jerium (talk) 22:10, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
- Support it's creation, but I probably wouldnt participate until they start making more traditional games for VR (Mario, Sonic, Final Fantasy, etc). Sergecross73 msg me 15:41, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
Discussion
- Comment I would just call this proposal WikiProject Virtual reality, since augmented and mixed reality still require virtual stimulation to help produce the results, and virtual reality is the significantly common topic amongst society. Jerium (talk) 22:07, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
